Shantique Med-Spa nutrition counseling and our weight loss management program
Just about everyone could benefit from a weight loss management program with a healthier diet outlining rules and goals that are realistic and achievable. A registered dietitian looks at your lifestyle to give you the guidelines, resources and motivation you need to make a healthy change.
Your weight-loss results
Every person will see a different journey toward their weight-loss goals. Some take time to get started, while others lose quickly at first, then slow down. What is important is maintaining good habits over time for a weight loss that can be maintained. Healthy weight loss is around 1 to 2 pounds per week, but your nutrition counselor will help you find the right weight loss management program for you and help you adjust your plan over time to optimize your results.
Your nutrition counselor will work with you to develop a plan that has the calories and nutrients you need to lose weight without feeling deprived. It may take some time to adjust to a new diet plan, and you’ll have some unhealthy cravings you can’t indulge, but you won’t be hungry all day, every day.
Because you are learning new habits and a healthier lifestyle, your weight loss is more likely to be long term. Highly restrictive diets and “crash” diets can produce results but are almost impossible to maintain over time. Once you have developed better eating and exercise habits, you can make them a part of your daily routine for better health throughout your life.
Often the downfall of a diet is being unable to stick to strict rules when it comes to eating, which can be especially hard for people who don’t have a lot of time to cook or who eat most of their meals at restaurants. But we’re here to keep you healthy long term, so you’ll get the foundation and tips you need to survive a dinner out with friends without breaking the calorie bank, plus simple ideas to help you eat healthier at home, every day.
The support you need
Your monthly weight-loss coaching sessions with Dr.Soliman, mean you can review your progress (and your slip-ups) and adjust your plan as needed. We’re here to cheer you on and help you succeed!

Weight Loss Frequently Asked Questions
What are the health effects of obesity?
If you struggle with excess weight or obesity, you may have concerns about how it affects your appearance. But obesity can also have serious effects on your health. If you don’t reach and maintain a healthy weight, you’re at an increased risk for health problems that can affect your entire body.
Obesity-related health problems include, but are not limited to:
Type 2 diabetes: This chronic condition affects the way your body metabolizes sugar and can lead to serious complications when left unmanaged, including heart disease, stroke, and amputations.
High blood pressure and high cholesterol: High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, as well as high levels of LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, point to a significantly elevated risk of heart disease, heart failure, and stroke.
Sleep apnea: This condition causes you to stop breathing many times during the night, depriving you of the oxygen you need and preventing you from getting restful, satisfying sleep.
Chronic pain: When you carry excess weight, you may put excess strain on your bones and joints, leading to chronic pain from conditions, including arthritis.
How can my doctor help me lose weight?
Shantique Med Spa offers personalized, supervised weight loss services so you can lose weight at a healthy, steady pace and get the results you’re looking for. Your weight loss treatment may include both a diet plan and medication.
The team at Shantique Med Spa creates easy-to-follow diet plans that allow you to get the nutrients you need and feel satisfied while you lose weight. Often, these plans involve a brief period when you eat only 1,200 calories a day to encourage faster weight loss.
The team may prescribe medication, such as Contrave®, Belviq®, or phentermine to help control your appetite and food cravings.
While you follow your weight loss plan, you come into Shantique Med Spa for monthly monitoring. The team supports you to make the behavioral and dietary changes you need to lose weight and keep it off.
How do I keep off the weight once I lose it?
You may be concerned that if you follow a weight loss plan, you’ll gain back the weight soon after losing it. The good news is that you can prevent this from happening, and the team at Shantique Med Spa is there to help.
Maintaining a healthy weight is a lifelong commitment, and though it may be challenging, you do have the power to control it. The team teaches you to be an active participant in your health and permanently change your lifestyle.
